As demand for network and computing capacity continues to rise, AI is pushing for a revolutionary new infrastructure that is quicker, more sustainable, and secure. This will support cutting-edge innovations. Implementing NTT’s IOWN concept, which aims to shift from electronic to photonic technologies in networks and computing, will play a crucial role in developing a more sustainable and scalable AI infrastructure.
Kazuhiro Gomi, President and CEO from NTT Research, provides updates from Upgrade 2024 event in San Francisco :
– The role of photonics technology as a potential solution to the overheating problem in IT tech infrastructure, especially as AI requires significant computational power and energy consumption.
– The steps towards integrating photonics technology into our systems, starting with replacing connections between processors and memory, and eventually leading to the development of optical computers.
– The importance of investing in fundamental basic research, as it is the starting point for big innovations, and how NTT Research allocates a significant portion of its operating income towards this type of research.
